When we checked in at Kettle Lakes the Ranger mentioned significant black bear activity around the campground.  “Just keep food and trash put away” it’s not problem.  I’m cool with that.  We settle in and have a quick supper then head out to explore a bit.  The loop around the edge of the park turned out to be pretty good for wildlife viewing: river otters and a loon in one lake and a cute little black bear peaking at us (in the car) from behind a stump.  He watched for a moment then scurried off into the underbrush.  We scoped out the various kettle lakes in the park and plan to take the kayaks out in the morning.  Maybe we will see some more critters!
